Author Greg Mortenson at SPU tonight; doors open at 6:15

Greg Mortenson, bestselling author of Three Cups of Tea and his new, follow-up book Stones Into Schools, is coming to Queen Anne! Tonight at 7:00 at Seattle Pacific University’s Royal Brougham Pavillion (3414 Third Avenue W), he will speak about his work building schools and promoting peace in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Mortenson draws tremendous crowds and this event is free, first-come, first-served, so expect a line. Doors open at 6:15 for the 7:00 event.

The Washington Center for the Book at the Seattle Public Library and Elliott Bay Book Company are presenting the author. Mortenson will be signing copies of his new book at the event, and books will be available for purchase. Because the author is recovering from some recent health troubles, they’re trying to make the tour a little easier on him by limiting his signing to only the new book. Mortenson is very, very grateful for everyone’s support and understanding!

Your local neighborhood bookstore (and my employer) Queen Anne Books already has signed copies of Stones Into Schools. You can call Queen Anne Books at 206-283-5624 to reserve a signed copy while they last.
